In your political crime model you list patriarchy, racism, national chauvinism, class 
exploitatin/alienation and agesim as the structures of domination.
You then point that you didn't mentinon inequality because you recognize
that, as Marcuse did, some inequality is necessary.  What form of 
inequality do you have in mind that might be "necessary" which doesn't fit
into one of your major categories?
